I’m still working on Furniture for my daughters new home. Yep pretty sure I’m gonna miss the deadline of having it all done. I’ve been very careful not to rush and do a sloppy job so a bit more time is okay. This table set has taken the most time to complete. In last weeks blog I showed you how we took the chairs and made side benches. She wanted captains chairs to be very different from the benches so...

When my plate gets over loaded I feel like I’m backed into a corner. I feel like all the projects are standing in front of me and pushing at me. That is how I feel these days with all that is going on this next two weeks. The big move out for my daughter family happens on the 8th. That will be 3 to 5 busy days of organizing, rearranging furniture and decorating. A few days later I’m involved in...

I wish I could do that but it’s not in my soul to just accept things the way they are and...

Well that old saying applies to what your neighbor has. If you spend your time looking and wanting what others have you waste your time. That wasted time can be used to better your own life or better...

I love when I find an old hand-made tool box. This tool box was really ready for the trash with all it’s built up grease and stains. I just couldn’t let it go to the trash pile. It was broken on one side that was unrepairable and there were screws sticking out. I had a lot of repairs to do and I had to work had to sand all the layers of grease away. Underneath all that grease was some...

Meet LaTonya

I am a creative with a vintage soul and a happy heart. Just as I set out with a new purpose to restore my life 5 years ago, I try to find the beauty in beaten up and forgotten pieces for the home.
